Construction 2025: Progress, Challenges, and the Future Industry

As we approach the milestone year set by the UK Government’s Construction 2025 strategy, it’s time to reflect on progress, assess ongoing challenges, and set a vision for the future. The Constructing Excellence Manchester group is bringing together key figures from across the industry to evaluate achievements, discuss innovations, and explore the path toward 2050—a future shaped by sustainability, digital transformation, and productivity improvements.

The event will feature Lisa Harris from St Helens Council as the keynote speaker, followed by two breakout slots. Each slot will offer three sessions, and you’ll be able to attend one session from each slot.

You’ll be asked to choose your preferred option for Slot 1 and Slot 2 after placing your order. Your tickets will be issued once the required information is provided.

Some sessions may have filled up by the time you register, and we’ll confirm your session allocations by email once ticket sales close.
